I just don't ever trust them to tell us the truth, when you see a Tory Chancellor happily giving out another 3 or 4 months of furlough money, you have to ask why, they never mentioned the Kent variant and it's effects between September and mid December(not that I recall) then popped up with it but they'd already announced extending furlough for quite a long time previous to telling us about that variant, I did wonder why Sunak done it back then.
